Molecular simulations were performed to study a system consisting of protein (e.g., lysozyme) and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) terminating with different chemical groups in the presence of explicit water molecules and ions. Mixed SAMs of oligo (ethylene glycol) [S(CH2)4(OCH2CH2)4OH, (OEG)] and hydroxyl-terminated SAMs [S(CH2)4OH] with a mole fraction of OEG at chiOEG = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0 were used in this study. In addition, methyl-terminated SAMs [S(CH2)11CH3] were also studied for comparison. The structural and dynamic behavior of hydration water, the flexibility and conformation state of SAMs, and the orientation and conformation of protein were examined. Simulation results were compared with those of experiments. It appears that there is a correlation between OEG surface resistance to protein adsorption and the surface density of OEG chains, which leads to a large number of tightly bound water molecules around OEG chains and the rapid mobility of hydrated SAM chains. 相似文献

Exposure of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to UV light leads to the formation of aldehyde groups, leading to a simple one-step method for the introduction of reactive functional groups to protein-resistant surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to demonstrate binding of amines to the modified surfaces, while surface plasmon resonance has shown that proteins are covalently bound. Modified OEG monolayers bind streptavidin at least as well as N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester functionalized monolayers. Micrometer and nanometer-scale patterns are conveniently fabricated by exposing the monolayers using, respectively, a mask and a scanning near-field optical microscope. 相似文献

Here we report a study into controlling the polymerization of mono-hydroxy and mono-methoxy terminated oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates (HOEGMA and MeOEGMA, respectively) from functionalised, planar surfaces via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The effects of initiator structure, initiator density, temperature, and monomer ratios have been investigated for these polymerizations. The polymer brushes grown in this way were found to convey protein resistance to the underlying inorganic substrates, prone to facile protein adsorption in their native state. 相似文献

A synthetic method for oligo(ethylene glycol) toward 44-mer (FW = 1956.35) is described. Reiteration of Williamson's ether synthesis and hydrogenation to remove protecting benzyl group affords desired oligo(ethylene glycol) toward 44-mer in moderate yields. The advantages in this method are use of commercially easily available materials as starting materials and procedures avoiding difficulty in purification of the products as much as possible. 相似文献

The UV photo-oxidation of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has been studied using static secondary ion mass spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle measurement, and friction force microscopy. OEG-terminated SAMs are oxidized to yield sulfonates, but photodegradation of the OEG chain also occurs on a more rapid time scale, yielding degradation products that remain bound to the surface via gold-sulfur bonds. The oxidation of these degradation products is the rate-limiting step in the process. Photopatterning of OEG-terminated SAMs may be accomplished by using a mask and suitable light source or by using scanning near-field photolithography (SNP) in which the mask is replaced by a scanning near-field optical microscope coupled to a UV laser. Using SNP, it is possible to fabricate patterns in SAMs with a full width at half-maximum height (fwhm) as small as 9 nm, which is approximately 15 times smaller than the conventional diffraction limit. SNP-patterned OEG-terminated SAMs may be used to fabricate protein nanopatterns. By adsorbing carboxylic acid-terminated thiols into oxidized regions and converting these to active ester intermediates, it has been possible to fabricate lines of protein molecules with widths of only a few tens of nanometers. 相似文献

Globotriose- and oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated self-assembled monolayers: surface forces, wetting, and surfactant adsorption 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A set of oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated and globotriose-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has been prepared on gold substrates. Such model surfaces are well defined and have good stability due to the strong binding of thiols and disulfides to the gold substrate. They are thus very suitable for addressing questions related to effects of surface composition on wetting properties, surface interactions, and surfactant adsorption. These issues are addressed in this report. Accurate wetting tension measurements have been performed as a function of temperature using the Wilhelmy plate technique. The results show that the nonpolar character of oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated SAMs increases slightly but significantly with temperature in the range 20-55 degrees C. On the other hand, globotriose-terminated SAMs are fully wetted by water at room temperature. Surface forces measurements have been performed and demonstrated that the interactions between oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated SAMs are purely repulsive and similar to those determined between adsorbed surfactant layers with the same terminal headgroup. On the other hand, the interactions between globotriose-terminated SAMs include a short-range attractive force component that is strongly affected by the packing density in the layer. In some cases it is found that the attractive force component increases with contact time. Both these observations are rationalized by an orientation- and conformation-dependent interaction between globotriose headgroups, and it is suggested that hydrogen-bond formation, directly or via bridging water molecules, is the molecular origin of these effects. 相似文献

Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) was used to investigate the conformational changes in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of (1-mercaptoundec-11-yl) hexa(ethylene glycol) monomethylether (EG6-OMe) on gold when exposed to liquid water. VSFG spectra of the EG6-OMe SAMs were recorded before, during, and after exposure of the films to water and after a subsequent evacuation step. While in contact with water the entire ethylene glycol chains are found in a random, solvated state, after removal from the fluid water molecules remain absorbed only at the terminal groups of the film giving rise to distinct conformational changes. After evacuation, the structure of the EG6-OMe SAM reverts to its original state, indicating that water has been removed from the monolayer. Our findings support recent ab initio calculations and Monte Carlo simulations on the interaction of ethylene glycol-terminated monolayers with water. 相似文献

A study of protein resistance of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG), HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)nOH (n = 2, 4, and 6), self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) surfaces is presented here. Hydroxyl-terminated OEG-SAMs are chosen to avoid the hydrophobic effect observed with methyl-terminated OEG-SAMs, particularly at high packing densities. The structure of the OEG-SAM surfaces is controlled by adjusting the assembly solvent. These SAMs were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Protein adsorption on these surfaces was investigated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). OEG-SAMs assembled from mixed ethanol and water solutions show higher packing density on gold than those from pure ethanol solution. For EG2OH- and EG4OH-SAMs, proteins (i.e., fibrinogen and lysozyme) adsorb more on the densely packed SAMs prepared from mixed ethanol and water solutions, while EG6OH-SAMs generally resist protein adsorption regardless of the assembly solvent used. 相似文献

We report an efficient synthesis of a series of penta-p-phenylene derivatives with four side chains of various lengths, including deca(ethylene glycol) groups. The key feature of the synthesis is that the side chains are efficiently introduced in the last step, facilitating optimization of the side chains for different applications. Raman spectroscopy study indicates a similarly high rigidity for all these compounds, even those with long oligo(ethylene glycol) side chains. The deca(ethylene glycol)-substituted penta-p-phenylene derivatives are versatile building blocks for construction of nanometric, tripod-shaped adsorbates for biological applications. 相似文献

The structural properties of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-terminated and amide-containing alkanethiols (HS(CH(2))(15)CONH(CH(2)CH(2)O)(6)H and related molecules with shorter alkyl or OEG portions) on gold are addressed. Optimized geometry of the molecular constituents, characteristic vibration frequencies, and transition dipole moments are obtained using density-functional theory methods with gradient corrections. These data are used to simulate IR reflection-absorption (RA) spectra associated with different OEG conformations. It is shown that the positions and relative intensities of all characteristic peaks in the fingerprint region are accurately reproduced by the model spectra within a narrow range of the tilt and rotation angles of the alkyl plane, which turns out to be nearly the same for the helical and all-trans OEG conformations. In contrast, the tilt of the OEG axis changes considerably under conformational transition from helical to all-trans OEG. By means of ab initio modeling, we also clarify other details of the molecular structure and orientation, including lateral hydrogen bonding, the latter of which is readily possessed by the SAMs in focus. These results are crucial for understanding phase and folding characteristics of OEG SAMs and other complex molecular assemblies. They are also expected to contribute to an improved understanding of the interaction with water, ions, and ultimately biological macromolecules. 相似文献

The interactions between proteins and gold colloids functionalized with protein-resistant oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) thiol, HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)6OMe (EG6OMe), in aqueous solution have been studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The mean size, 2R, and the size distribution of the decorated gold colloids have been characterized by SAXS. The monolayer-protected gold colloids have no correlations due to the low volume fraction in solution and are stable in a wide range of temperatures (5-70 degrees C), pH (1.3-12.4), and ionic strength (0-1.0 M). In contrast, protein (bovine serum albumin) solutions with concentrations in the range of 60-200 mg/mL (4.6-14.5 vol %) show a pronounced correlation peak in SAXS, which results from the repulsive electrostatic interaction between charged proteins. These protein interactions show significant dependence on ionic strength, as would be expected for an electrostatic interaction (Zhang et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2007, 111, 251). For a mixture of proteins and gold colloids, the protein-protein interaction changes little upon mixing with OEG-decorated gold colloids. In contrast, the colloid-colloid interaction is found to be strongly dependent on the protein concentration and the size of the colloid itself. Adding protein to a colloidal solution results in an attractive depletion interaction between functionalized gold colloids, and above a critical protein concentration, c*, the colloids form aggregates and flocculate. Adding salt to such mixtures enhances the depletion effect and decreases the critical protein concentration. The aggregation is a reversible process (i.e., diluting the solution leads to dissolution of aggregates). The results also indicate that the charge of the OEG self-assembled monolayer at a curved interface has a rather limited effect on the colloidal stabilization and the repulsive interaction with proteins. 相似文献

Under the constraint that sulfur atoms form a hexagonal (square root 3 x square root 3)R30 degrees overlayer on the (111) gold surface, the optimized geometry of periodic arrays of HS(CH2)3CONH-(CH2CH2O)3H molecules has been found ab initio, by exploiting the BP86 exchange-correlation functional with 6-31G and "general" basis sets. The obtained data suggests that several prominent features of in-SAM molecular geometry and orientation stand out from conclusions based on single-molecule modeling. In particular, changing of amide-related dihedrals is shown to dominate in adjustment of molecular constituents to the assembly environment and to result in a substantial shortening of the hydrogen bond distance between nearest-neighbor amides. First demonstrated here, the full account to the intermolecular interaction within periodic arrays of amide-bridged, oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated alkanethiolates forms a new platform for arguable modeling of SAM apparent properties. 相似文献

Micro- and nanopatterns of biomolecules on inert, ultrathin platforms on nonoxidized silicon are ideal interfaces between silicon-based microelectronics and biological systems. We report here the local oxidation nanolithography with conductive atomic force microscopy (cAFM) on highly protein-resistant, oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-terminated alkyl monolayers on nonoxidized silicon substrates. We propose a mechanism for this process, suggesting that it is possible to oxidize only the top ethylene glycol units to generate carboxylic acid and aldehyde groups on the film surface. We show that avidin molecules can be attached selectively to the oxidized pattern and the density can be varied by altering the bias voltage during cAFM patterning. Biotinylated molecules and nanoparticles are selectively immobilized on the resultant avidin patterns. Since one of the most established methods for immobilization of biomolecules is based on avidin-biotin binding and a wide variety of biotinylated biomolecules are available, this approach represents a versatile means for prototyping any nanostructures presenting these biomolecules on silicon substrates. 相似文献

Cyclization reactions of Fe{C5H4OCH2(CH2OCH2)nCH2OTs}2 (n = 1, 2) with C6H4-1,2-(OH)2, C6H4-1,3-(OH)2, and Fe(C5H4OAc)2 under basic conditions yield the corresponding macrocyclic 1,1′-ferrocenophanes. The ferrocenophane having a pyrido-crown ether structure was also synthesized. These ferrocenophanes were characterized by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammograms of the ferrocenophanes exhibited reversible redox peaks assigned to the oxidation and reduction of the ferrocene unit. The macrocyclic pyrido-containing ferrocenophane forms pseudorotaxane with [NH2{(CH2)9Me}2]BARF (BARF = B{C6H3-3,5-(CF3)2}4) in CDCl3. 相似文献

Oligo(ethylene glycols) 1a-h, which are incorporated with one to eight 2,3-naphthylene units, respectively, have been synthesized and characterized. The conformational changes of the new oligomers have been investigated in chloroform-acetonitrile binary solvents by the UV-vis, (1)H NMR, and fluorescent spectroscopy. It has been revealed that the naphthalene units in hexamer 1f, heptamer 1g, and octamer 1h are driven by solvophobic interaction to stack in polar solvents. As a result, compact helical conformations are formed that give rise to a cavity similar to that of 18-crown-6. Shorter oligomers 1b-e exhibit weaker folding tendency. (1)H NMR studies reveal that 1f-h are able to complex ammonium or ethane-1,2-diaminium 19, but not secondary ammonium compounds. The association constants of complexes 1f.19, 1g.19, and 1h.19 in acetonitrile are determined to be 3.5(+/-0.4) x 10(3), 1.0(+/-0.12) x 10(4), and 2.5(+/-0.4) x 10(4) M(-1), respectively, with the (1)H NMR titration method. For comparison, hexamer 22, which incorporates six 1,5-naphthylene units, is also prepared. The UV-vis and fluorescent investigations show that 22 is also able to fold in polar solvents, but no helical structure can be produced due to mismatch of the stacking naphthalene units and consequently there is no obvious complexation between 22 with ethane-1,2-diaminium ion. The structures of the longest foldamer 1h and its complex with 19 have been studied with molecular mechanics calculations. This work represents a new approach to building folding conformations from flexible linear molecules. 相似文献

Synthesis of cyclic oligo(ethylene adipate)s and their melt polymerization to poly(ethylene adipate)
We present here the first synthesis of cyclic oligo(ethylene adipate)s(COEAs) via pseudo-high dilution condensation reaction of adipoyl chloride with ethylene glycol, and the synthesis of corresponding poly(ethylene adipate)(PEA) via the melt polymerization of COEAs. The structure of COEAs was characterized and proved by 1H-NMR and MALDI-TOF mass measurements. The effects of organic base, reaction temperature and the ratio of adipoyl chloride to ethylene glycol on the yield of COEAs were studied, and the optimum reaction condition was revealed. PEA, a diacid and diol based semi-crystalline green aliphatic polyester, was synthesized by the melt polymerization of COEAs using Ti(n-C4H9O)4 as catalyst and 1,10-decanediol as initiator at 200 °C, which follows the polycondensation-coupling ringopening polymerization method. Our strategy should be applicable to the synthesis of versatile aliphatic polyesters based on diacid and diol monomers, which have potential applications as biocompatible and biodegradable materials. 相似文献

The thermo-sensitive swelling behaviour of hydrogels based on 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate (MEO2MA) and synthesized by free radical polymerization has been investigated. The homopolymer hydrogel presents a low critical solution temperature (LCST) close to room temperature, which can be modulated by copolymerization with longer oligo(ethylene glycol) side chain methacrylates (OEGxMA). Then, three series of copolymeric hydrogels synthesized with MEO2MA and several low ratios of OEGxMA with Mn = 475 g mol−1 (OEG8MA), Mn = 1100 g mol−1 (OEG23MA) and Mn = 2080 g mol−1 (OEG45MA) were studied. In addition to conventional tetra(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) crosslinker, the use of biodegradable oligo(caprolactone) dimethacrylate (OCLDMA) was also tested. The hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance, function of the short and the long OEG side chains, establishes a swelling behaviour depending on monomer composition, side chain length and temperature. The swelling at equilibrium increases with increasing the amount of OEGxMA in the copolymer and, at the same time, the collapsing moves progressively to higher temperature. The temperature dependent volumetric response of some of these hydrogels can be compare with the most extended thermo-sensitive hydrogel, which is based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (P(N-iPAAm)). Therefore, they are potential candidates to replace it in applications where biocompatibility is required. 相似文献
